The splenic flexure lies in the upper left quadrant between the transverse and descending colon.
The medical term for bending of the intestine in the area of the spleen is splenic flexure syndrome. This condition can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Treatment typically involves dietary adjustments and managing underlying conditions like irritable bowel syndrome.
No, the descending colon is located on the left side of the abdomen. It starts at the splenic flexure near the spleen and runs down to the sigmoid colon in the lower left abdomen.
The descending colon. I know this person is in Dr. Morrison's class, look in the book on page 854. It has the answer word for word. Try reading
The sigmoid colon (pelvic colon; sigmoid flexure) forms a loop which averages about 40 cm.For more information see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_colon
Splenic embolization. involves plugging or blocking the splenic artery to shrink the size of the spleen. The substances that are injected during this procedure include polyvinyl alcohol foam, polystyrene, and silicone.
It would be near the descending colon in the left upper quadrant of humans.
The large intestine has curves called the hepatic flexure (at the junction of the ascending and transverse colon) and the splenic flexure (at the junction of the transverse and descending colon).
The transverse colon is the part of the large intestine that is located between the hepatic flexure (right colic flexure) and the splenic flexure (left colic flexure). It runs horizontally across the abdomen from right to left below the stomach and liver.
I think you must be asking about Splenic Flexure. The splenic (or left colic) flexure is a sharp bend between the transverse and the descending colon in the left upper quadrant of humans.
The splenic flexure is a sharp bend in the colon located near the spleen. It is where the transverse colon joins the descending colon. This flexure can sometimes be a site of pain or discomfort in conditions like constipation or diverticulitis.
The colon starts from the right and lower side of the abdomen. It goes up ward. Then almost horizontally towards left side of upper abdomen. Then it goes downwards. The bend here is called as left colic flexure. It is also called as splenic flexure.
The splenic flexure, also known as the left colic flexure, is the point where the transverse colon bends downward to become the descending colon. It is located on the left side of the abdomen, near the spleen. This junction is significant as it marks the transition from the upper part of the colon to the lower part, playing a role in the overall function of the digestive system.
I suppose you are talking about the intestinal segment so it is called the Transverse Colon
The section of the large intestine associated with the spleen is the splenic flexure, also known as the left colic flexure. It is located near the spleen, where the colon makes a sharp bend from the transverse colon to the descending colon.
The left upper quadrant of the abdomen contains the pancreas, the spleen, the left kidney, the left adrenal gland, the left-most aspect of the liver, and the splenic flexure of the colon along with the left-most transverse colon and the superior aspect of the descending colon.
The medical term for bending of the intestine in the area of the spleen is splenic flexure syndrome. This condition can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Treatment typically involves dietary adjustments and managing underlying conditions like irritable bowel syndrome.
No, the descending colon is located on the left side of the abdomen. It starts at the splenic flexure near the spleen and runs down to the sigmoid colon in the lower left abdomen.
